S is the best grade and D the weakest, judged as a buyer. ▲ raises the score, ▼ lowers it, ? is an input we do not have, • is a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work
What players say
I'd recommend this over any banger racing game out there it may be older but that means it runs like a dream. Even with Wreckfest 2 on the horizon I'd recommend this until its fully released.

Trust me, people race cleaner in Wreckfest than in Forza Horizon! Imagine being more civilised in a game literally about wrecking cars LMAO! 😭
I don't drive but my brain tells me to get my license so I can be in the demo derby...this game helps me with my demons. I love specifically the demolition missions and online play, it feels like Twisted Metal or Vigilante 8 without the guns. I love seeing each other crash, spectating when I die and just getting slammed into a wall or catching mad air only to be crushed by the car behind me. Really fun experience...
